DESCRIPTION:
If walls could talk...
Looking after and tending to the needs of my tenants is what gives me purpose. Every day I go out of my way to watch over them and keep them safe. They're more than just paying guests, they're my neighbours, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure they're happy.
But when one of them is found dead in their apartment, everything I thought I knew is thrown into chaos. I always thought that danger only lived in the outside world, it’s why I’ve not stepped foot outside this building for 5 years. But I’m quickly realising that there is more to fear inside these walls.
When I inherited this building from my dad I had no idea about its sordid history. But as far as I'm concerned, no good comes from digging up the past. But with the police asking probing questions - about them, about me - and with my tenants holding secret meetings, I must uncover the truth before anyone else comes to harm, even if it means risking everything I've carefully built.

MY THOUGHTS:
Keeping order is very important to Evie. Now that her father has died, she is the landlord for a group of flats that she lives in. Not only does she live in the building, Evie hasn’t set foot outside for five years. While she might never have imagined herself to be agoraphobic, that is most definitely the case for her.
After inheriting the building from her father, Evie is bound and determined to do right by her tenants by organizing meetings, while also covering the needs of all of the tenants. However, when one of them is found dead in his apartment, Evie’s carefully orchestrated life begins to crumble.
How much is too much for a landlord? Perhaps Evie oversteps her boundaries, but as she does so, she uncovers more about her tenants than she could have ever imagined. Safety becomes a pressing concern, not just for Evie, but for everyone in the building. Amidst Evie’s struggle to maintain order and unravel the mystery of the murderer, the tension in this book never stops.
Many thanks to Boldwood Books, Rachel’s Random Resources and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
